Her work at Bentley will consider the path by which the biotechnology industry builds on scientific discovery to develop products for public benefit. Of particular importance is an integrated analysis of development-stage technologies, biotechnology business models, and patterns of capital investment to identify ways to improve the efficiency of bringing new products to consumers and clinical practice.
